What is the closest you have ever been in thinking of suicide?

[mazrim]

My dad tried to last summer, but luckily my mom found him passed out on the floor overdosed on pills. Shaved his head and mustache to make it "easier" on everyone. Thinking we wouldn't recognize/take it as bad since it didn't look like him as much. Depression is not very logical when you reach that point.

Talked about doing it the "right" way after that (gun, etc.) for a bit after that while being in the psych ward of the hospital.

I know I am like him a bit in that way as I have bouts with depression as well but not nearly like I used to. Not to turn this into a religion thread (please don't in the way it happens on these forums) but I have a reason to live so I've never taken it that far.

If religion is the only thing stopping you killing yourself then I suggest you dont look at it from a skeptical viewpoint.

[Papper]

Never even considered it.

I met two guys that later offed themselves. Just weird.

I feel like I am in the looney bin here

What? Not understanding your post. And it's def not the only thing.

The existence of a God doesn't bear close examination.

Yeah, I know what the sentence means but no idea why you posted it in relation to me.

From that I deduced that religion was your reason to live.

If Im wrong then thats OK.

Gotcha, could have been clearer from my end. If religion was the only reason to live then there would be a lot more dead people on the world.
Your wording threw me off a bit as that is what I thought you were going to get at but I don't look at it skeptically so that was where our wires got crossed a bit.

Anyway, no biggie.

autoerotic asphyxiation  

Those are accidental.

[Lustral]

i did this, jabbed an entire cartridge of insulin and going to bed in hope that I wouldn't wake up, but I did - in a hospital bed with a torn tricep tendon and dislocated shoulder thanks to the hypoglycaemic seizure I suffered.

that was the last time I ever thought of and acted on suicide, will never entertain the thought again.

You skipped the part where you pissed yourself and foamed from the mouth.

I'm giving a third party account of what was seen. Seconds from death was the verdict.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

I'd imagine that some people kill themselves by way of autoerotic asphyxiation so it doesn't look like a suicide. I read that insurance companies will fight paying off if someone goes out this way unless they have a plan where it pays out even with suicide...All that aside, I think i'd rather be seen as a suicide than someone who died jacking off hanging from a noose...

Oh, hell yeah, no question. Much rather disturb folks with bloody gruesomeness than creep 'em out with an epic masturbation fail.

People who kill themselves and then whine about it after they are dead via note, video or what have you, are weak and selfish.

No way, Elliot Rogers is a supreme gentleman! Likes to divulge in opulent ways. His manifesto should be course literature in higher learning.

[Jeffro]

Have never considered suicide.  But I've been in low enough places in life to see why some people do it.

When folks commit suicide they often leave a lot of unanswered questions, which hurt family and friends. Whether or not a suicide note, video, etc. helps or hurts loved ones depends on its content.

Did you quit cold turkey or dial it down over a period of time? This often makes a difference in how you'll feel. Generally speaking, doctor's advise folks to gradually reduce these types of meds to avoid bad reactions.

Whose offspring? Trust me, Coach, you have a (GB) following. Let us know.

They do now because there where a good percentage of people who killed themselves or attempted to kill themselves. Doctors weren't telling people to dial it down a decade ago. They were having them stop cold turkey etc. Many people died because of very bad advice from doctors.
